Give your money to any other product or service
If they want money for Lemmy then they can step down or stop being shitty mode
Your donation isn't going to that
You guys read like bots when you do this, have you no self-awareness?
"Ooh, someone said something about Taiwan, generate a short sentence about it that's entirely unrelated to what was said!"
As it says there, you can to nutomic, but they're famously a massive transphobe who claims that trans people are western propaganda (Id forgotten that until I read the comments on the post I linked)
I've said it off platform for a whole - Lemmy's a waste of time because the devs are garbage people the community actively hates. Unless someone forks it or the current devs hand it over I don't see Lemmy making it much further than this tbh. I kinda expected them to give up on the project from all the mass hate they got a while ago, but part of what makes them annoying is how stubborn they are lol
and is therefore counterrevolutionary bourgeois propaganda. Us Marxist-Stalinists only support authoritarian socialism
You don't see the problem with openly admitting you're a horrible person?
but also mentioned that donations for development go towards server costs for .ml. Hell no.
Having taken donations for similar shit before: isn't that illegal if they aren't open about it? Had I done that with my donated money I'd have been sued out my fucking ass
Generally, yes, but they're also a wee bit authoritarian on some things, so people get maaaaad
They allowed a blatant troll to post often and repeatedly for a looooong time (think they finally banned their ass, tho)
There are other services that can provide what Lemmy does without supporting their admins where your money would be better off going. Or just use adblockers like an adult, lol
That's actually been my plan, jump ship when .ml's toxicity finally sank Lemmy, cuz I'm too lazy to do anything until shit actually happens
